Visual Website Optimizer (VWO)

Visual Website Optimizer (VWO) is a very good tool for A/B testing. In my opinion, it is a bit more limited in features than for example Test&Target but, on the other hand, it is much cheaper and easy to use.

VWO is a good tool to start making A/B tests or Multivariate tests in a website when you don´t have too much money to invest on this type of activity. There is even a cheaper option, like Google Website Optimizer, but still VWO I think it is easier to use and provides better features, so it is worth the small cost.
